Owning Mahowny – Gambling Addict
It is main movie scene where Dan Mahowny (Philip Seymour Hoffman) arriving to Atlantic City in big-style (private-jet, Full VIP admission) and after winning 9M $ decide not to stop and continues until didn’t lose everything, exactly as kean Casino manager Victor Foss (John Hurt) predicted because “Iceman” never stops.

I am related with Casino business so I find this scene quite remarkable. I had similar situation many many times….

the only part I don’t like about this part is right after you hit the point of 8 in craps you need to establish the point and repeat to win. One 8 one the come out roll will not give you shit. you need seven or eleven. to win after the point you need at least to rolls, one to establish the point and one to win. they say shooter need 8 win. rolls again 8 winner, no you get 8 the whole prosses starts over again. without seven eleven on the come out you need at least two rolls to win.

Good day to all of my fellow Christians, firstly my apology for being out of topic. I came here to remind you people that the judgment day has been starting already.

1774, I think you’re talking about Bacarrat.
Mahowny takes the cards out the shoe. They are distributed to Banker/Dealer, and play proceeds from there.
